Re: Off Topic 2013

One neighbor does nothing, so I do where our yards connect.
My main issue is the remnants of the ones I killed.
If it were a few I'd pull them, but there's gotta be 100.
Ive heard vinegar will kill them. Anyone ever try that?

Re: Off Topic 2013

All that plumbing talk makes me shudder as no one here is all that good of a handyman. The best person would by my sister's husband. Lord help us if we ever had a serious plumbing issue!

Plumbing isn't bad, but people are often intimidated by it.

I worked in Plumbing, Kitchen & Bitch, and Appliances for almost three years at Home Depot. Once you learn what works with what it's just a matter of putting it together. They make some of it it so simple these days, but easy doesn't always mean cheap.

I used to love when someone would send their wife, girlfriend, daughter, etc. after something and then they have to call them and me talk to them on the phone.

Law school doesn't help on the Battlefield either

You should have went ahead and put in a shutoff valve while you had the water off

If you ever have a leak on the ice maker line one day you're going to have to shut the water off again.

Damn Chase, I thought I was at least decent at Battlefield.

I wanted to leave the valve on there, but I'm not handy enough to do it. I may just have my tile guy do it. All he has to do is cut the pipe and put the valve I already have on there. I guess I could do it if I had a copper pipe cutter, but I'd probably mess it up.

Re: Off Topic 2013

LOL. You are pretty decent on the Battlefield. Not everyone can be a level 100* colonel.

They even make fittings, valves, etc. for 1/2" , 3/4" , and 1" CPVC and copper called "sharkbite fittings". Just cut the pipe straight and snap it in either end of the fittings. http://www.sharkbite.com/

It's too bad the fittings are expensive. Just a basic coupling can cost around $5.00, but they will last a lifetime and will never leak or bust.

I bought Battlefield, let it sit on the shelf, then got rid of it. As much as some hate CoD, it fits me perfectly. I can just turn it on, change a couple guns, then run around and kill people. Battlefield sounds like too much planning and thinking.

All I basically do is run from one objective to another depending on the game mode.

Re: Off Topic 2013

There's strategy invovled with Battlefield, but not to the point where you have to sit and orchestrate a well thought out plan.

I just enjoy the teamwork and how the game encourages it by awarding points for supplying ammo, reviving, healing, spotting enemies, etc.

If I do 95% of the work to kill someone and Koolie came behind and killed them, he gets full credit for the kill and the poiints, but the game still rewards me a kill assist 95 and likely a 50 point suppression kill assist.

Outside of the occasional frustrating moment, I've had a lot of fun playing with OSers for the past year and a half.

The vehicles just add another element. I always get a smile on my face when I'm 500 meters away and someone in a jeep runs over one of my AT Mines

Re: Off Topic 2013

I haven't been around OT lately, but if Giggas is bitching about his job again........

I do more of it on Twitter, honestly. I've lost the glow here, which sucks. I think the pair programming aspect of my current job as well as the ****tiest piece of software I've ever seen has just killed any motivation for me.

Giggas use to always bitch about his job prior to moving to Oregon.

Looks like I've fallen off the wagon.

You know what I hate about spring? Finding little dead baby birds all over the place. Pretty nasty.

I bet Windows ME had better code than this does. Windows ME was just misconceptualized.

How did you see the QA department we work with from India?

This is just a joke, I actually appreciate how thorough the QA department is at this job.
